Detroit exploded for nine runs in the seventh and rolled to a 12-2 win over New York, tightening its grip atop the AL Central. The middle game features a Rodón–Flaherty pitching duel as the Yankees chase a wild-card spot and the Tigers look to keep momentum against a familiar division foe. Rodón aims to lead the AL in wins but hasn’t solved Detroit this year, while Flaherty has shown volatility but can swing a game with a strong start.

Bookmakers list NYY as a moderate favorite while a SportsLine model pegs a Yankees win around 64% with various props on Guardians wins and Clay Holmes’ outs. For fantasy players, Meadows’ multi-hit night and Mize’s quality six-inning outing supply value, while Rodón’s history vs Detroit keeps expectations cautious in cash games.
